Oh, that’s right, this is the presidential race…not my DVR.<\/p>\n
I will admit that I am a flawed person. One of my flaws that I’m willing to admit here in the blogosphere is my desire to want to speed things up. I tend to just want to get to the good parts. It’s not the most healthy or mature outlook on life, I know, but sometimes, taking it one day at a time can be excruciatingly painful.<\/p>\n
All that said, I am so completely stressed-out\/anxious\/overwhelmed by all of the election coverage, aren’t you? Aside from CNN marathons, the twisted pleasure I derive from watching Bill Maher every Friday and cracking up with Tina, Amy & Seth on SNL<\/span>, I just want it all to be over. Can’t it be November 5th already? Wait, let me be clear – I want it to be November 5th, with the right man standing at the podium, humbled to be accepting his first presidency, by a landslide<\/span>, and making history. Michelle, Malia and Sasha will be standing and smiling by his side.<\/p>\n But then I have to think that if things had been sped up, I would have missed Colin Powell’s long-anticipated endorsement <\/a>(with feeling!<\/span>) on Meet the Press<\/span> on Sunday, I wouldn’t have had the opportunity to see W.<\/a><\/span> this past weekend (and buy my “support” ticket for The Secret Life of Bees<\/a><\/span>, which I’ve already seen twice, and loved, at screenings) and I wouldn’t be able to cast my vote on the morning of November 4th. Oh, and as a sidebar, I will so<\/span> be voting “No” on Proposition 8<\/a> out here in Cali. Have you seen those hateful commercials<\/a> veiled as a “warning” to parents? I know that everyone might not agree, but I do believe that folks should have the right, and the freedom, to live their lives and simply, “do them.” Just my opinion.<\/p>\n But back to the presidential race. Barack is off to Hawaii to visit his sick grandmother. I surely hope she makes it to see him bring this home. Hang in there, grandma…he’s almost there. Speaking of which, what about the 106-year-old woman<\/a> who’s thrilled to be alive, to be a witness? Talk about living to see the day…<\/p>\n Election Day is exactly two weeks from tomorrow. I’m going to try to cool my jets and take each 24-hour period as it comes. After all, the world, as we’ve known it, is about to change.
